When I was room mating with my Cousin, when we moved out the property management company kept $200 of our security depoosit because as they said, "You didn't paint the apartment". But that was not in the lease. We had to sue them to get it back.'

We went to Cook County courthouse to file. A lawyer there tipped us that there was a book that listed all the corporations and their corporation counsel since you had to serve their lawyers the lawsuit.

We ended up getting the $200 back plus a small payment for lost time from work.

It was worth it to not let them run roughshod over us.
